Somebody please explain what’s wrong with this woman. Brown has not, to our knowledge, beaten Tran up as he did Rihanna, but he’s no model boyfriend. He used Tran as a spare while dating Rihanna, and since, until she finally threw him out after learning he has a 9-month-old daughter by some woman Karrueche had never heard about. Worse still, said daughter is named Royalty.

Yet there was Tran, on the Oprah Winfrey Network the other day, saying: “There ain’t no making up – right now.” Brown has been trying, asking for a face-to-face talk, Tran said. “He’s said he’s sorry. He’s dropped flowers off. He’s sorry for everything.” You can just hear her weakening.

She’s 26.

This is sad: Elton John and his mother Sheila Farebrother have not spoken for seven years, the Daily Mail reports. For her 90th birthday party last month, she hired an Elton impersonator. The real Elton sent a card.

The problem started, apparently, when he asked her to drop a couple of mutual friends with whom Elton had fallen out. She balked.

Now she says Elton and his husband David Furnish are obsessed with “wealth and fame” and not interested in mere “plebs” like her.

Kaley Cuoco and Ryan Sweeting, married 14 months ago, are almost done, says Life & Style mag, which sometimes gets these things right.

Remember Liam Gallagher’s endless court case over child support? He kept skipping hearings in New York with this woman Liza Ghorbani, mother of his 2-year old daughter Gemma.

Now, avoiding the risk of a really big decision against him, the former Oasis frontman has offered Ghorbani an out-of-court settlement, and she accepted, apparently. Unfortunately the terms are secret, but she’ll surely be getting more than the $5,000 U.S. per month he’s been paying.

Quote of the day: Zooey Deschanel complains to Jimmy Kimmel that pregnancy has spoiled her eating habits:

“You can’t have sushi. You can’t have cheese that tastes good. You can have a little bit (of coffee) but I would have four cups a day and now I can have half a cup, which is a joke … No alcohol, I miss that – I like wine.”

She’s due in mid-summer. The dad is her boyfriend, producer Jacob Pechenik.

This will be a “premium” collection, meaning buyers will be paying for his name. Of course everyone knows that wearing celeb-brand apparel always makes anyone seem younger, richer, wiser, sexier. Right?
